Friendship and gay rainbows is a 99% shot that misses six times and might make you lose a solider. Makes you think.

Going back over the series, the darkest moment for me—other than the entire Hero episode—is when Catra is talking to Hordak completely calm and about how everything is going to plan, and then we finally see the room from over her shoulder, and everything's trashed. And then she breaks down crying on all fours.Ghost Leviathan posted:I'm not sure what's going on with Swiftwind but he steals every scene he's in. Well, he's a horse. And he talks. They do that now, and also get chairs. There, now you're caught up.

Madurai posted:Micah doesn't have the connection to the stone that's the de facto throne determinant. He can be regent, but not ruler. Right, but Micah was 'beloved' while she's still a rookie. I'm sure there's going to be friction, and it'll be compounded by Shadow Weaver suddenly being all over her favorite student.

Yeah presumably Angella was the Queen and she got married to Micah, who wasn't royalty at all before that. In which case he has no claim to the throne and his daughter is ahead of him in terms of succession because Micah's the one who married into the family. Edit - this has happened before regularly in real life royalty, we're just accustomed to it not being the women who naturally inherit. The typical situation for this in the real world would be where the King dies so the Prince becomes the new King despite the fact that the Queen is still alive.

Watermelon Daiquiri posted:Or, because he loves his daughter and knows hes been gone too long, he doesn't want to make any sort of claim? It seems more likely any friction between Glimmer and Micah will arise from his obsolete image of who she is and what she could be. Which seems sort of like it'd be a retread of Glimmer's relationship with her mother, but more intense given the gulf in knowledge and time but the show can probably make it work regardless.

Micah has a personal beef with shadoweaver and Glimmer is under shadoweavers influence. The malign influence that offers power vs the benevolent but paternalistic influence that "holds you back" is a classic dramatic framing device in buildungsromans.

I want Catra's redemption arc next season but if I can't get that it better end with her scheming her way into horde prime's slot and adora being captured and subjected to a chorus of "HEEEEEEEEY ADORA~" from an army of clones

Catras redemption is going to come from working with Glimmer and Shadoweaver to undermine Horse Prime. I like that instead of having two heads he has two heads in one.

I'm not buying Shadow Weaver being a hero now, simply because 'don't worry, your abusive parent will sort themselves out in the end' doesn't really seem to fit this show's philosophy. She and Horde Prime seem like the only irredeemable villains simply because they're the sorts of people that the intended audience of this show should try to get the hell away from rather than identify with.

Double Trouble will join the princesses as a prinxes themself (prinxes of drama) to fight Prime and get money, Shadow Weaver will frame them for being Prime's spy. It will obviously be her, trying to get power or magic or to make Catra's head explode. Nobody suspects her because it's so obvious. Then she and swift wind get married.

Shes absolutely not a hero. Shes just part of team glimmer against horde prime. A lot of the conflict of the show will be shadoweaver v micah and untangling the catra/shadoweaver relationship wrt to first adora and now glimmer. If Andreas Katulas were still alive he would do a cameo as gender swapped catra screaming "They are doing it again!"

Shadow Weaver's motivations are a mystery to the characters and audience, though I'm not unconvinced she isn't fuelled almost entirely by pride and spite. She's surprisingly happy to teach magic to Adora and Glimmer, with no apparent strings attached. She's more or less the unofficial court mage at Bright Moon now. Maybe recognition is all she really wants. But as said, she's a horrible person with messed up priorities and her maternal attitude doesn't make that any better. Especially since she can't do much magic now unless she steals it from others, so quite possibly her teaching young proteges how to do magic better is just another form of cultivation...tsob posted:It seems more likely any friction between Glimmer and Micah will arise from his obsolete image of who she is and what she could be.

Kinda makes me think the recent arc in DuckTales of a long-absent parent trying to reconnect with kids they've never really gotten to know. It's difficult, but not impossible. Especially since Glimmer clearly gets a lot of her personality from him. Also possibly her body type, given she's pretty stocky while her mom is a waif.

She's motivated by recognition and validation. She was stuck playing second fiddle in Mystacor, and saw an opportunity to distinguish herself while simultaneously hazarding her student. When it went tits up, she took up with the Horde because it was the only option available to her that let her keep any semblance of authority and power over others. She's like those 'good professors' you have in college who are still in their prime - you wonder why they're not out there practicing and profiting from what they're teaching, and it's because they never want to be "the one," they're content with being the one who taught/has influence over "the one."

That makes a lot of sense. I think a lot of it is she respects magic as a practice and artform and does enjoy seeing others reach their potential through her teachings- even after her transformation she's still kindly to Micah, but she's ultimately a Svengali, and I think best demonstrated when she first aided Glimmer by using her as a power battery. She might be mollified by being useful to the Rebellion and a magic teacher, but only until someone else comes along with a better offer. Micah's return should be interesting to see how she reacts.

If you rewatch light spinner shadow weaver straight up kills people by blasting them with beams and then murders the head magician by devouring them with her shadows She is gonna be angry about being ignored by Glimmer and is about to get evil again especially when Micah rejects her help. I doubt she will get a full redemption in the end
